i couldn't really get the brake to move... and i don't know anything about attexs. i assume the brake is the lever to the left of the drivers seat? it is in the back position and i couldn't get it to move forward.
yes it has been sitting for a while... the guy said he bought it 8 years ago and hasn't touched it... didn't know any history. as for the axles... i'll probably get it going this summer and play for a while. once winter comes around and my shop empties out (lawn mower season is in full swing) i'll gut it and start figuring out what direction to go. are the 1.25's hard to make? i plan to make my own wheel adaptors anyway. other than welding them on it's just drilling some holes for sprockets right. i've seen the post about using max bearings and flanges. doesn't look too tough
